In a bid to make dream weddings come true, IHG Hotels & Resorts has come up with a host of special offers to help couples make the most of this momentous occasion in their lives when they are ready to say yes.
Elaborate events have long been a cornerstone of the wedding industry in India, guests and wedding planners alike have worked hard to up the wow factor with extravagant decorations, sumptuous menus and long guest lists.
Under the current circumstances and with health and safety in mind, guests have been taking a less traditional approach. Families and couples are now looking at organizing more intimate weddings and special occasions in accordance with the local government guidelines.
IHG Hotels & Resorts select venues across brands including InterContinental, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn hotels in India, Nepal and Bangladesh have adapted to create bespoke experiences, making them a perfect match for couples looking to host intimate wedding events.
IHG’s team of professional event specialists have customised their venues and services to cater to intimate yet glamourous or one-of-a-kind events with a relentless focus on health and safety so guests can enjoy the celebratory event, leaving every worry behind.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has put together a special offer available from 1 March until 30 April 2021, for weddings scheduled from 1 May 2021. The limited period offer includes:
- Guaranteed room upgrade to suite, to make the special occasion even more memorable
- 50,000 IHG Rewards points for the first 100 confirmed weddings, as a token of thanks to guests for trusting IHG (equivalent to 1 night at InterContinental, 3 nights at Crowne Plaza, 4 nights at Holiday Inn 5 nights at Holiday Inn Express across the globle)
- Up to a 5% rebate towards total bill, to help guests save a little bit more to splurge on jewels or honeymoon
- 2-night stay voucher for 2 people, to reminisce and cherish the fond memories experienced
- 1 Kg bridal cake with compliments, to congratulate couples on their new journey together
- 10% off in-room dining/laundry services, to bring some added comfort to the wedding experience
With smaller weddings, guests who want to include larger number of people in their special occasions are finding alternate and innovative solutions to do so.
Splitting the invitee list based on the type of ceremony is a popular option. Many guests are now choosing to invite younger family members or friends for pre-wedding celebrations and the elders for the main wedding event, while others are hosting ‘virtual weddings’, live streaming the ceremony for families and friends based in different parts of the country, and the globe.
IHG has enhanced the experience for its hotel guests, by redefining cleanliness and supporting guests’ personal wellbeing throughout their event and stay at the hotel. Using new, scientific protocols and service measures, partnering with industry leading experts Cleveland Clinic, Ecolab and Diversey, and launching a global IHG Clean Promise, these strengthened measures are giving guests greater confidence and hotel teams the protection needed.
